PLA Kissing Couple

cults3d

A passionate couple printed using high-quality PLA on a cutting-edge Replicator 2 and powered by Makerware. I stumbled upon a wooden rendition (see below) and was so impressed that I decided to print my own PLA version, incorporating some unconventional variations. I am happy to upload the Sketchup 8 files (.skp) if needed for conversion to ABS, just let me know in the comments. A video showcasing the electrical version of the PLA Kissing Couple can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IoMIzsaeVE I still need to verify the STL files, so they may undergo some changes. If you encounter any issues, please don't hesitate to comment. What I enjoyed most about this project was the striking contrast between 3D printing and traditional machining techniques. If I were to machine this project using wood or metal, I would end up wasting a significant amount of material cutting away unnecessary parts. With 3D printing, there is virtually no waste, and only the PLA required for each part is used. The original wooden version can be found on the YouTube link provided. Their artistic skill is truly remarkable. You can choose to build your PLA version with either a hand crank or an electric motor. See the instructions for more information on your options.
